COMMUNITY SURVEY and
COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS
Becoming the United Way our communities need.
Since our inception in 1961, the Beaufort County United Way has been a strong fundraiser. This ability to fundraise made "fundraising" the mission and in return, put our mandate to improve lives and strengthen communities on the back burner.
This United Way must be a dedicated problem solver who will impact the most critical social issues in our community and build a stronger future. To that end, we are launching a volunteer led Community Impact Task Force,
During this process, we will look at the powerful relationship between the community and United Way to gain a greater understanding of local issues by learning from the people in our community whose lives we hope to impact, helping us shape exciting new goals for our community.
Achieving these goals will require a new way to invest our resources, focus our funding, and build collective impact. This will be a new path for our United Way and the community, a path that will be fueled by voices that matter, YOURS.
The assessment process will take time. There are health and human service experts to consult, community leaders to activate, and many-many community members to engage. Assessment results will be shared communitywide so everyone may better understand the issues and challenges people are facing every day in our community.
Keep an eye on your email, as the survey will be released soon. We hope you will take a few minutes to participate by completing the survey.
